The South African Institution of Civil Engineering (Saice) has called for urgent intervention by government to attract engineers who have been emigrating at an alarming rate back to South Africa.
Statistics from the Department of Home Affairs in 2017 showed that eight South African professionals left for every skilled foreigner who entered the country. That year saw 120 000 people with professional qualifications leave – about 7% of the total number of professionals employed in South Africa at the time.
